Self-expanding implant insertion into the intersphincteric space for faecal incontinence

Evidence on the safety and efficacy of self-expanding implant insertion into the intersphincteric space for faecal incontinence is inadequate in quality and quantity. Therefore, this procedure should only be used in the context of research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

NICE encourages further research into self-expanding implant insertion into the intersphincteric space for faecal incontinence. This could be randomised controlled trials or registry-based research to capture long-term outcomes.
